I've considered it, but one of the requirements is that the proposed  
project benefits a "large segment" of the Perl community. Honestly,  
I've never figured CamelBones would meet that requirement - Mac users  
are a pretty small niche, Cocoa developers a small niche within that,  
and Cocoa/Perl developers a small niche within that.

On the other hand, it appears that quite a few of Perl's "heavy  
hitters" are using Macs. And it certainly couldn't hurt to ask. So  
I'll write up a proposal for this round, and see what happens.
